we seem to not have a clue how to play out from the back, it's like we know it's something other clubs do but why and how - it's a bit of a mystery...let's try it anyway
Yeah, I love watching passing football and hate long ball stuff - but the passing out from the back even when under extreme pressure is being done now by so many teams who just don't have the personnel to do it.
When you watch the highlights shows each weekend there's so many goals given away by clumsy attempts at playing out from the back.
Our U23's do it every week and usually look so uncomfortable most of the time. I was even watching top of the table Hearts hammer bottom of the table Alloa 6-0 the other week and Alloa, who were completely outclassed, were trying to do it all the game and looked so out of their depth and even the 6th goal late on was from their keeper caught out still trying to do it.
It's a very good thing when done right. But, like every difficult attribute, you need players with the right skill level to be able to execute it correctly. It's like every teams doing it because it's the 'in thing', but so many are doing it poorly because they're not comfortable or good enough to do it.
